Like ADW sais earlier it was defo JB who passed the original to Rod,the company who made up the liquid was based near Croydon and it worked on the reaction of milk lactones via a dairy connection.
The closest today will either be Kennys supply or JBs Toppex and Milky1
Always remember in life and in fishing nothing lasts forever so if theres something you wish to do,go fish or try do it now........and have no regrets

Very wise advice. In hindsight I wish that I had bought a lifetimes supply of scopex....and some of the other amazing attractors available 30 years ago!
Slightly changing the subject but, on a similar vein, I recently ordered some of my usual hooks and they arrived in an unusually sharp form. Every one was a cracker and no need for sharpening. Just in case this was a fluke batch I pronto ordered another 20 packs......just in case.

I'm currently using a mix of three Scopex flavours in my specials, Blake's , DT and feedstim plus NBA
Now they are over flavoured as they are used as singles etc. They smell lovely but not like the original Scopex, more like coconut cream (read Cell) similar but not the same
Any way I made some the other day and inadvertently left the dropper in the draining sink, the next morning the kitchen smelt just like the original Scopex, warm buttery and one of those fragrances you can't help but sniff, So maybe just sniffing the bottle is giving a slightly false smell? Just a thought!!
I'm currently awaiting some Diacetyl and Acetoin to play around with hookbait wise

The Nash frozen Scopex Squid still smell like the old scopex I remember once they have sweat up a bit in the bucket.
I don't get the original bottles of flavour thing. Surely chemical flavours are volatile by nature and therefore degrade over time. A 20 year old bottle of flavour might smell the same to our weak human noses, but I'd be very surprised if they still measured in any way similar to when they were made.

I always wonder that and smile when you see manky bottles going for unbelievable amounts of money....
I used Nutrabaits N Butyric Acid quite a bit in the late 80's early to mid 90's, that stunk to high heaven, found the bottle in the garage the others year, and it had lost a lot of its pungency but still smelt stronger than the stuff been touted about on the market now
